Description

Beautiful finely carved wooden distaff from the 19th century.
The distaff is used to hold and store wool, linen and hemp fibers, which have not yet been spun, so that they do not get tangled and are easy to use. The simplest form is a wooden branch on which the fibers are wound and held in place using a ribbon. In other cases the wood or wicker will be split into four to form a cage which will contain the material. As always with everyday objects, some can be abundantly decorated, especially when the object is offered by the fiancé to his bride. The distaff is used both with a spinning wheel, it is then placed very close to the spool, and with a spindle, in this case we hold it under one arm slipped under the belt and we maintain the spindle of the other hand. Good condition. Length 87 cm.
